Found a heart
« on: April 26, 2016, 21:00:59 »
A few days ago I was shooting a concert at Schrottgallerie.

On the way in I was attracted by all the tacks in a door.
The heart only really registered once I looked at the image.

Elsa likes it because of the anarchy punk sign :)

Glad you enjoy it ;-)

Last light of the evening from the left. Colors pushed a bit in PP.

my inner hippie coming out :)
AFX - if I may nit pick  - I think you could make it pop a bit more to accentuate the colours and stuff  :)

Like this?




Hmm, it looks a lot less punchy here with the light background than in my dark environment.

One more "difficult to pinpoint" comment. I think is the apparent chaos, all the different textures, initiatives, creative hands involved, love and anarchy!, the seeming snowy-ish falling white dots...I´m still finding things.

  The overall impact of the image does work for me and keeps my eyes interested.

   I also prefer the more punchy version. Exactly like that :)
